wont go any lower and its too high!!!!

[Tall-Paul]

has any1 got eibach coilovers and found that even when the back 1s are wound right down its still far too high? Theres still more to go at the front but the back doesnt match up. Will i beable to get shorter springs or will it knacker the shocks? ill put pics up tomoz cos its dark now Basically looks like a dragster

why would you want to go lower?

 

[Ksalmi]

Same prob here. On PowerTechs coils though.. Was really looking for a slammed look, on front theres like 2-3cm air between the tire and fender

Dont know how the eibachs are built. But you could take the rear adjuster piece away thatll give you 1-2 cm more down on rear

why though? rash's looks good, but you slam the f*cker on its arse too low and it will just look **** imho

 

[goble]

Just get shorter springs!

i only want it level, im just disappointed that if i wanted, the front could nearly be on the floor (undrivabel i know) but the back has no where near the potential to go as low as the front.

but could the shocks take that?

 

[goble]

nah theyll still have load of travel in them if there coilovers

 

[gazjones]

the car dosent sit level the back is 20mm higher than the front standard so if you drop the back 60mm the front as to be dropped 40 mm to sit level. if you have dropped the from most of the way down there jus wont be enough adjustment on the back to make it sit level

 

[Tall-Paul]

yeh i get your point but i dont c y the front has so much travel in it if the back cant keep up?

 

[davels]

get a fat rear passenger simple

 

[gazjones]

the back is a solid axle as well and things pass over it like exhaust so if you go to low you will get loads off rattling

 

[Tall-Paul]

You'll c wen i put a pic up, even my mum thinks it need lowering more at the back.

Mine is lowered on Eibach coilovers, nice and low at the front and could go lower, but as low as it will go at the back, and it looks like there is enough room for a small third world country to live in the gap still there...

This doesnt help with the lack of ANYTHING in the back, but still... shocking!

Will the two ideas said here really work? And at what cost?

 

[Ad Lav]

Unlucky boys, mine sits perfectly on rear, plenty left on front too!

Always check how much the rears lower not just overall lowering.

 

[Gazb]

Surely as the Ibiza sits higher at the back than it does at the front if you change it and make the back sit lower i.e. so the car looks level you will infact mess up the handling on the car to a certain extent.

Ive been told to leave it cos thats wot eibach is set up to do any they're more performance based than styling. Any way heres the pics:

side on

Back wheel

compared to the front

wot do u think, im gonna get spacers to fill the archs more so it shud look better then

Didnt know u had eibach, well we can get shorter springs but thats supposed to cause knocking and also the shocks are set up with certain springs so if we change them it will alter the ride, in what way tho i dont know

that word filter is playin up i think, i presume you meant to say "can" and not ***
and looking at you pics it doesn't look odd it looks like the beeza should do only lower all round, i think some rear 20mm hubcentric spacers on the back and you be all sorted mate. like the LCR splitter to
